Mr. Specter. Now, would that be the approximate loss in velocity of a pristine bullet passing through the Governor?
Dr. Olivier. The loss would be somewhat greater.
Mr. Specter. How much greater in your opinion?
Dr. Olivier. Do you have that figure, Dr. Dziemian?
Dr. Dziemian. I would say a pristine bullet of the Governor was about half again thicker. It would be about half again as great velocity, somewhere around 400.
Mr. Specter. Had the bullet passed through only the Governor, losing velocity of 400 feet per second, would you have expected that the damage inflicted on the Governor's wrist would have been about the same as that inflicted on Governor Connally or greater?
Dr. Olivier. My feeling is it would have been greater.
Mr. Specter. Had the bullet passed through the President and then struck Governor Connally, would it have lost velocity of 400 feet per second in passing through Governor Connally or more?
Dr. Olivier. It would have lost more.
Mr. Specter. What is the reason for that?
